Behind The Scenes At Conference


Recommended Posts

This is making it's way around Facebook and i thought it was pretty interesting.  It just has some basic info about general conference, the speakers, etc.

The most interesting piece of information to me was finding out that on Monday morning speakers are given two copies of their talk-the one that correlation approved and one that is comprised of the actual words they said while giving their talk.  Then the person gets to choose which one they want published.

We have come a long way since the days of Brigham Young.  The time was that precise timing was not so important but now timing and orchestration have to be followed.  It sometimes makes one wish for "the good old days" but many, many more are reached this way.  If it were still done the old way I would not be able to be there.  Modern technology is marvelous but we do lose a little of the spontaneity.

I'd love to know who is on this correlation committee!

It's an organization within the Church Office Building. The committee consists of some apostles and church employees. The department, however, is a paid staff.

If a speaker decides he wants to use the spoken version does it have to go back through correlation?

 

It doesn't say, but it doesn't sound like it.

When I worked at LDS Business College for the institute it was my responsibility to transcribe the talks that were given by GAs at the devotionals. After receiving the tape of Elder Faust I quickly transcribed it and made a bunch of copies of which I gave several out.  Well, being a naive 19 year old it never occurred to me that this would be a problem. A little bit of panic ensued when word reached Elder Faust's office, I guess. Everyone was really nice about it but I did have to ask for the uncorrelated copies to come back.  To his credit I don't remember making any changes after my copy was approved. Apparently he spoke off the cuff but didn't say anything he wanted to recant later.  And now I wish I had kept a copy of all of those devotionals but sadly I did not!
